Martin Kyere, the survivor, noted that 56 West African immigrants, of which the 44 Ghanaians were part, were subjected to inhumane treatments.
They were reportedly murdered by the “Junglers”, the military group that took instructions from Jammeh.
Per a report citinewsroom.com, Kyere revealed he dodged bullets after escaping from a truck on which the detained migrants were being transported.
He added that he joined the campaign to demand justice for the dead migrants so as to ensure that the guilty pay for their actions.
The Ghanaian government has meanwhile revealed that investigations into the massacre have been reopened, but the affected families claim little has been done.
